15 Best Movie Performances Of 2018 (So Far)
13. John Cena (Blockers)
Look, not every great performance needs to be worthy of an Oscar, and to that end our card-carrying comedy slot goes to John Cena for his hysterical performance as an over-protective father in Blockers. It was either him or Jesse Plemons in Game Night, but Cena just about clinched it.
Can you name another WWE superstar who has ever "butt-chugged" beer on screen for our amusement? His fearless, shameless performance cleverly subverted audience expectations that he'd be playing a stereotypical meathead dad, bringing surprising sweetness to a character who could so easily have been a cardboard cutout.
Cena hasn't had an easy time establishing himself as a movie star - at least compared to, well, The Rock - but he's definitely carving out a fine niche for himself as a terrifically entertaining player in R-rated comedy fare.
